Major refactoring of the tests
Closed this issue · 1 comments
There are Utils, CommonUtils and FooBaseSuites all over the place, and a lot of inheritance going on. The tests are structured that way to enable sharing of both test data and helper functions, which is a noble goal, but it's extremely difficult to navigate.
Having the tests spread across all the different modules makes things even more complicated, especially as some tests appear to be in the wrong module, and for other tests it's not clear in which module they should live.
How about we make a new tests module and move all the tests to there? All the tests would live in one place, and there would be no need for complex inter-module dependencies. We could refactor the tests to reduce inheritance and re-organise the shared test data and helper functions at the same time.
Makes sense to me 👍 . Actually, the new tests module proposal would also cover #580
